    In a post on his Truth Social platform, the president said he would “federalize” the city if local authorities failed to address crime, specifically calling for minors as young as 14 to be prosecuted as adults.

    So he slept with 14 year olds then

    He clearly wants to be able to say that’s the age they’re treated as adults.

    “A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC,” Musk posted on X. “A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her. It is time to federalize DC.”

    Bull. Shit. Off the charts, pants on fire bullshittery. 0% chance some 19YO DOGE chud challenged 10 dudes to a street fight like some early 90’s comic book hero before they got their powers. Nope *1M.

    Oh let me guess. Yes another step in the authoritarian playbook.

    Trump just threatened to federalize D.C., taking control from local leaders. That’s not just talk. It’s a classic authoritarian move: centralize power, bypass democracy, and push harsh punishment.

    This isn’t law and order, it’s a play for control. Wake up.

    I wouldn’t even be surprised if they got Big Nuts to stage it.

    The long game is control. Take over cities one by one, starting with D.C., using fear (crime, unrest) as the excuse. Replace local leaders with loyal ones. Strip states of power. Make it so only the federal government—run by him—calls the shots. No checks. No opposition. Just him in charge, everywhere.

      Waking up ain’t fuckin’ likely. The billionaire class has spent the last two decades ensuring the media terrified anyone left-of-center of the finest multipurpose battle rifle ever devised. Yeah, scary shit! Any reasonably competent human can pick up an AR-15 and go to work. It was designed for 18-yo dipshits to fight anywhere, anytime, any conditions, with minimal instruction or weapon care.

      AR-15 used in any killing? Front page news. Maine shooter goes on one of the wildest rampages in recent history? Meh, no mention of the gun used. (It was an AR-10. Not sexy news.) Can anyone imagine why the ruling class wants to keep these weapons out of our hands? I got no idea!

      If y’all didn’t get strapped on the first go round, I can’t convince you. All I can do is the job in front of me, and the fascists aren’t in my hood. Yet. Because the people around here are armed.

      While we’re at it, I cannot overstate how fucking angry I am to have to walk my immigrant wife down the street with a pistol in my waistband. I have never worried about being armed in my life, and I’ve been in some crazy shit.

      Of course he is. Nothing will come of it. Nobody should care except to point out the hypocrisy.

      He’s also working to steal the 2026 election. That’s the story we’re being distracted from.

    Federalize these nuts. We’re not waiting around to find out. If you haven’t setup a local meshtastic network for you city, do so. Shits torqued and about to implode. Orangolini’s on borrowed time. The People will rise.

    He wants to “federalize” a federal district which is already controlled by …checks notes… Congress.

    I’m starting to think Trump might be full of shit.

    Every dictatorship gets its Horst Wessel.

    In a few years’ time there’ll probably be a military base or warship or something named after Big Balls.
